Fine, fine 1989 version with a very enjoyable and weird jam into "D/S."

20 minute version with momentum and creativity galore. Held my attention the entire time.

Very cool soundcheck version released on the 2018 30 Days of Dead. It would've been cool if they busted out at this great Memphis show.

Killer Bruce era version from one of the absolute best shows of 1991.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Bit weird that this was the only song they repeated during this stand.
Dark Star

Greensboro Coliseum

This version should be waaaaaay higher. The band is locked in, and it goes through just about every mood and color you'd expect out of "Dark Star" jams. Such a complete version. Can hang with 1968-74.

Best version I've heard. Listening now as work quiets down.
Drums -> Space

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Mickey attacks the beam during this sequence, exceptionally violent stuff. One of the most memorable performances of this combo.
Dark Star
March 20, 1992
Copps Coliseum

The last great one indeed. This whole show is excellent. I really like how Bruce carried the 1991-92 "Dark Star"'s. 1991/09/26 is another great one where he steals the show.
